Glueys: A tiny companion that takes breaks with you

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of Glueys.

I kept ignoring every break reminder I tried. Pop-ups felt like nagging, dimmed screens felt like punishment, and I'd dismiss them without thinking.

So I tried the opposite: instead of telling you to take a break, a tiny creature takes it with you.

🐰 Gloop the bunny or 🐟 Ripple the koi lives in your Mac's menu bar.

Every 20 minutes, it slow-blinks with you while you look into the distance.
Every half hour, it hops up for a stretch.
It sips water with you.
When you take a real break, Gloop munches a carrot (no coffee for bunnies), while Ripple soaks in a drop of coffee.

A few things I cared about while building Glueys:

Out of your way: its own spot in the menu bar, never covering your menus.
Context-aware: waits for a natural pause and hides during calls and full-screen work.
Credits your effort: breaks you take on your own count, too. Each morning, you can see how yesterday went.
Private by design: no account, analytics, or internet connection. The App Store privacy label says “Data Not Collected.”
One-time purchase: $2.99, no subscription.

Glueys is now live on the Mac App Store! 🎉

I'd love to know two things:

1. What would you want your tiny companion to do next?

2. Are you Team Gloop 🐰 or Team Ripple 🐟?

Thanks for checking out my little project!
